Core i5-7400 vs Core 7 150U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core 7 150U beats the Core i5-7400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i5-7400 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7400. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7400 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core 7 150U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400. The Core 7 150U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-7400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
